Pagosa MAKERS Expo and Tour accepting applications for 2014 event

Thank you to those who participated in the first Pagosa MAKERS Expo and Tour in 2013. The event was a huge success and we are looking forward to an even more dynamic MAKERS Expo and Tour Oct. 11-12.

The Pagosa MAKERS Expo and Tour is a two-day, interactive experience providing MAKERS an opportunity to bring their creative endeavors from the basement, garage and kitchen table out for public viewing and consumption.

The expo takes place at SHY RABBIT Contemporary Arts and the Pagosa Springs Center for the Arts, while the tour portion will happen at studios, homes and businesses in the central Pagosa corridor.

Our goal is to attract 1,300 visitors to participate in the tour.

We will spend approximately $10,000 to advertise this event around the region and attract visitors to the area.

Why participate?

• To market and promote what you MAKE before, during and after the event.

• Exposure to new potential customers from outside of Pagosa Springs.

• Social interaction with fellow MAKERS.

• To share your creativity, expertise and inspire others.

How much it will cost?

• Musicians/performers/poets (no booth) — $ 50.

• Selling MAKER at Expo booth — $100.
